Microwave promotion

A novel use of the salt [BMIM][PFg] is to enhance microwave absorption and hence accelerate the rate of a reaction. Ley found that [BMIM][PFg] enhanced the rate of the microwave-promoted thionation of amides by a polymer-supported thionating agent [64].

Additional examples of microwave-promoted fiuorous synthesis are found in the following references [127-129,182,183]. 

In a follow-up article, the authors have shown that, in addition to 2-iodopurines, fluoro and chloropurines can also be rapidly aminated imder microwave-promoted conditions [186]. The conversion levels indicated that both fluorine and iodine were better choices than chlorine as the C-2 substituted halogen.

The first example of microwave-promoted solid-phase methodology in heterocyclic chemistry was the arylation of thiophene and indole via Suzuki couplings on TentaGel S RAM resin, as demonstrated by Hallberg and coworkers in 1996, before temperature- and pressure-controlled microwave instruments were even available [189]. Three years later Schotten and coworkers presented analogous but aqueous Suzuki couplings of 5-bromo-thiophene anchored to PEG soluble support via a carboxylic function at its C-2 position [116]. Unfortunately, this work was performed in a do-... 

Other types of HIV-1 protease inhibitors have also been prepared using microwave-promoted Suzuki reaction [37]. The symmetric cyclic sulfamide (3K,4S,5S,6it)-3,6-bis(phenoxymethyl)-2,7-bis[4-(2-thienyl)benzyl]-l,2,7-thi-adiazepane-4,5-diol 1,1-dioxide, for instance, was synthesized via cross-couphng of (3aS,4R,8it,8aS) - 5,7 - bis(4 - bromobenzyl) - 2,2 - dimethyl - 4,8 - bis-(phenoxymethyl) hexahydro [1,3] dioxolo [4,5 - d] [ 1,2,7 ] - thiadiazepine 6,6 - dioxide with 2-thienylboronic acid for 3 min at 45 W (Scheme 19). 

Heteroarylphenylalanines could be smoothly obtained via microwave-promoted Suzuki reaction of heteroaryl halides with 2-amino-3-[4-(dihy-droxyboryl)phenyl]propanoic acid (Scheme 28) [46]. Interestingly, the free amino acid could be used without any protection of the amine and carboxylic acid fimctionahty. When 4-(dihydroxyboryl)-L-phenylalanine was used as organometallic partner no racemization was observed. The carboxylate anion and free amino group seem to shield the a-C - H from deprotonation and thus hmit racemization. 

Extended tetrathiafulvalenes with acetylenic cores are interesting compounds because of their redox and chromophoric properties. Such molecules are both interesting from materials and supramolecular chemistry perspectives. A tetraethynylethene-extended tetrathiafulvalene, for instance, was prepared using a microwave-promoted Sonogashira reaction [72]. Coup-... 

Besides furo[2,3-d]pyrimidines, 6-substituted 5H-pyrrolo[2,3-h]pyrazines have also been obtained in a microwave-promoted one-pot process starting from N-mesyl protected 2-amino-3-chloropyrazine (Scheme 60) [74]. The... 

As a direct appUcation a potent C2-symmetric HIV-1 protease inhibitor (with two tetrazoles as carboxyl group bioisosteres) was prepared in one pot [77]. The process involved microwave-promoted cyanation followed by conversion of the nitrile group in a tetrazole with azide (Scheme 64). It is notable that the fimctionahzation was achieved so smoothly without side reactions such as the ehmination of water.

Vasudevan et al. have reported a microwave-promoted hydroami-nation of alkynes. Heating a mixture of l-ethynyl-4-methoxybenzene and 4-bromoaniline in water at 200°C in a microwave reactor for 20 minutes without any catalyst gave an imine product in 87% yield (Eq. 4.45).81... 

The imidazo-benzazepine 43 was prepared in moderate yield by a combination reaction sequence involving an initial van Leusen reaction to prepare the imidazole 42 followed by a microwave-promoted intramolecular Heck reaction <06TL3225>. 

Microwave-promoted reactions continue to extend their reach in heterocyclic synthesis. Regioselective N4-aminoethylation of the l,4-benzodiazepin-2-one 94 was observed under microwave conditions in DMF/K2C03 to afford, for example, 96a and 96b in 64% and 67% yield respectively (Table 4). In contrast, the thermal reaction at 80 °C in DMF with K.2CC)3 as base gave the Nl-aminoethylation products (95a, 65%) and (95b, 76%). These results were... 

An expeditious route to the cyclic sulfamide HIV-1 protease inhibitors of type 145 and 146 (tetrahydro-l,2,7-thiadiazepine 1,1-dioxide derivatives) from 141 and 142 hinges on palladium-catalysed amidation reactions. These reactions of 144 and 143 were microwave promoted and provided, after removal of the cyclic ketal protecting group, moderate to good yields of (145, 57%) and (146, 66%) for example with R = NHCOCH2-2-naphthyl <06T4671>. 

Using a different catalytic system, the Larhed group was able to perform regio-selective microwave-promoted chelation-controlled double-/3-arylations of terminal alkenes (Scheme 6.5) [24]. In this Heck approach, the authors used vinyl ethers as chelating alkenes and aryl bromides as coupling partners, employing Herrmann s... 

Microwave-assisted Heck reactions have also been carried out with triflates as coupling partners, involving some very complex molecules. Winterfeld and coworkers have reported a multigram synthesis of a complex non-symmetrical bis-steroidal diene by microwave-promoted coupling of the corresponding alkene and triflate steroidal moieties (Scheme 6.8) [27]. 

Similarly, the Tietze group has described an intramolecular microwave-promoted Heck reaction for the construction of the B ring in the synthesis of enantiopure B-nor-estradiol analogues (Scheme 6.10 a) [29]. The Heck coupling took place from below, anti to the angular methyl group, to form a single diastereoisomer. The best...
